Prcssius Matters to Be Taken Up
by Congress.

nlilerrd 1'lnna for a Colonial Src
rvtary In the Calilnrl The Increase
of the Army and Xory-Lam for
Culin. I'orto Illeo. and Hawaii.
An unusually large number of Represen
tatives for so early In the season are In
the city preparing for the coming session
of Congress. Scores of bills have been
prepared for Introduction, covering finan
cial legislation, the Philippine question,
the Increase of the army and navy, and
about every other subject that is liable
to be considered. All of the authors, how
ever, declined today to discuss legislation
except in a general way. The general
opinion expressed, however, was that at no
time since the reconstruction days has
there been so much important legislation
to be disposed of as that which will con
front the Congress at this session. During
the last session much needed legislation
was ignored for political and other reasons,
which the Incoming Congress must meet
and attend to.
"There can be no longer an evasion of a
currency reform measure, so called," said
one cf the Representatives today, "al
though it Is said that great doubt exists
if the programme mapped out for this leg.
islathe enactment will be a reform.
"Two Congresses have dallied with this
matter without accomplishing anything
further than to succeed In designating a
committee during the closing hours of the
session to prepare a bill for 'currency re-
fnrm Ttio Ifi-ttie. tfm m i 1 1 ( hplrl irs fips.
X I sions during the heated term at a seashore
X 1 r"wirr nnd after milch secret discussion
finally decided to recommend the passage
of a bill which will provide for bank cur
rency up to the par value of bonds; to
reduce the minimum amount required by
banks to do business to $23,000 of bonds;
to declare for a gold standard, and to pre
vent the reissue of greenbacks that are re
deemed in gold unless the reissue be made
redeemable only in gold.
"It is known for a certainty that the
Senate committee will not accept this pro
posed bill, as it will be presented by the
House. The Senate committee will meet
X j about two weeks before Congress convenes
4- for the purpose of taking up this matter
T ' and the modifications that the Senate com
"C mittee will insist upon will necessitate a
.j. conference. As to the outcome of the
conference nothing but conjecture can be
T indulged In.
X , "The banks and corporations made an
4 ' earnest effort last year to secure legisla
T tion on the lines mentioned, but for pollti
X cal reasons the Administration secured a

T seniblcs. The Administration is under a
picuge to proviue lor lue uaiiKa, uusia,

during the approaching session, or meet
with a pronounced disapprobation from
them that may have its effect in the
' election in 1900.

wire-pulling may be anticipated. That it
will be extremely difficult, however, to ob-
tain legislation affecting the interests of
tiusts is very probable, but when it is re
membered that the Republicans in the
House will have but twelve majority, and
that many Republicans have placed them
selves on record as being antagonistic to
aggregations of capital, a coalition with the
minority may be threatened or effected
which will pass a bill.
"It is not expected that the easy-working
majority in the Senate will permit the
Republicans of that branch of Congress to
ignore any bill the House may pas3 which
will restrict trusts.

mnnt tn Ihr. C.ihlnet and there Is a urow-
in- relief lhnt the, Presidpnt will in his
' message to Congress call attention to this
matter, and recommend that a colonial de- ,
I partment be created. Reasons for such a j
' department are apparent, and it is believed
that the Republican majority will gladly "-i. Jiiiier, pastor of .Mount Vernon Metn
create It, for the establishment of a new odist Episcopal Church, Woodberry. The
and great department means patronage to
dispose or. It Is tnougnt that recommenda
tions looklnc; to the creation of a colonial
department will be opposed by the Demo
cratic leaders, who will claim it to be
another evidence of Imperialism and Re
publican desire for political aggrandise
' nient.
"Aside from the new Cabinet portfolio,
there is much legislation required respect
ing Cuba and Porto Rico. The Philippines
will probablj not be the subject of legis
lation, because of the unsettled condition
of affairs there. Hawaii, too, must be
legislated for."
A prominent Republican said yesterday
that, in his opinion, the Republicans would
pursue a dilatory policy respecting colo
nial legislation, for fear of antagonizing
public opinion and supplying weapons to
those who call themselves anti-imperial
ists.
"The usual appropriation bills will be
passed as soon as possible." continued the
Representative. "It is understood that the
Republican majority will try to pass them
all before taking up any other legislation,
so that if it should be deemed politic an
early adjournment might be had. At pres
ent there is nothing to indicate that the
session will be a short one. The evi
dence is all the other way, and it
is a certainty that if all ot the
great measures that should be disposed
of are permitted to come up for action
the session will extend into July or August,
although it has been an established prece
dent to adjourn very early when a general
election Is at band.
'Tor a number of years a determined
effort has been made to place greater re
strictlons upon immigration. A bill embody
ing the educational test very nearly became
a law during the Fifty-flfth Congress. This
bill will bs resurrected, and it is thought
will be endorsed by the United States In
dustrial Commission. It is believed to be
among the probabilities that a bill having
educational qualifications jfor immigrants
will pass.
"Another important matter to be legis
lated upon is the Isthmian Canal. A com
mission is cow malting a final examination
as to the cost, etc, of this great Improve
ment. If the Commission can end its la
tors in time to make to the President a full
and final report, the President will, it is
believed, dwell particularly upon this mat
ter and urge that the necessary legislation
be granted to enable the construction of the
canal. It will be shown that a canal now,
is of almost as great a national need as a
navy is, owing to the necessity of provid
ing protection for the Pacific Slope, Hawaii,
and the Philippines.
"While it has not been determined upon
there is a strong desire In army circles to
have Congress make permanent the tempo
rary organization of the army and to retain
in it 25,000 additional troops. Owing to
the opposition in some quarters to a fair
sized standing army this matter may not
come up until the short session, for the
legislation Is not urgent, the act under
which the army was reorganized being ef
fective until 190. I

TYPHOID FEVER VICTIMS.
I'onr Death In One Fnniiljr In a
Month.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 30. The death from
typhoid fever on Saturday evening of Elmer
Twining Harris, aged eighteen days, son of
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Harris, 28 Day
Street, Stone Hill, Woodberry, makes the
third death in the family from typhoid fe
ver In a month. Miss Florence Harris,
aged eighteen, died on September 25, and
William Harris, aged thirteen, died on Fri
day last.
The father and mother have been III vith
the disaasj, but are recovering, and Hou&
ten Harris, aged five ears, is now In a
critical condiiii.n from the disease. Charles
Harris, aged ten years, is the only meinhei
of the family who has not be?.i affected
with the fever.
Miss Bessie Twining, of '.Hasted, Conn.,
a student at the Woman's Melit-il College,
who volunteered to nurse the family, brox
down under the severe strain, and whl.e
taking a rest was attacked with iV dis
ease and died at the Good Samaritan Hospi
tal on Monday last.
The disease broke out in the Harris fanjr
ily early in September, the father, mothei
and daughter being taken ill at the same
time, and leaving only William, aged thir
teen years, to look after them.
The mother and daughter were members
of St. John's Methodist Church, of which
Rev. Charles E. Guthrie is pastor, and
about September 15 the pastor was notified
of the distress of the family. Miss Twin
ing was a close friend of Mrs. Guthrie,
and she was told of the case and agreed
at once to nurse the sick persons. She
took espccla" liking for the daughter and
made hcittlf ill by the constant attention
she have her. She went to the home of
Rev. Mr. Guthrie for a few days' rest and
was taken with the typholf fever. Her
funeral se.tice was held on Iat Tuesday,
and htr tcuy was sent to W'nsttl, Conu.
While the funeral of the olJest daughter
was being held at the home by Rev. Mr.
Guthroe the father and mother were II

.1 Mini Seeking Work Hmlly llcnten
nnd Robbed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. A man who
thought he was being taken to Yonkers to
start work on a trolley road there was es
corted to First Avenue and Twenty-ninth
Street last night and beaten almost to
death and robbed of all he possessed. The
police think they see in his adventure a
new "bunco" game, and wonder how many
more of a party of fellow-victims with
whom Clent came from Philadelphia met
a like fate last night.
Edward Clent, thirty jears old. left Hil
ton, X. Y., to make his way in the world
and landed at the Bingham House in Phil
adelphia. Then he met a man calling
himself H. B. Monroe, who said he was
agent of the Yonkers Railroad Company,
and that he wanted conductors at (2.25 a
day to replace men who were going on
strike. Clent said he would like a job.
By appointment Clent met Monroe at the
Broad Street station on Friday night.
Twenty other would-be trolleymen were
there, and from each Monroe collected
$12.25 as "security." All came to New
York. Clent says that he went to the
Bull's Head Inn, Twenty-fourth Street and
Third Avenue, and met Monroe there by
appointment last night. Monroe took him
to Twenty-ninth Street and First Avenue.
Suddenly two men sprang out and attack
ed them, a big one grappling Monroe and a
small one Clent. The battle with Monroe
did not seem to be very fierce, for the big
man let him get away.
Clent resisted, however, and had a des
perate encounter. His assailant drew a
pistol and beat him on the head with it.
Clent was standing at First Avenue,
dazed and bleeding, when two little boys
came up and asked him what the mattes
was. He told them of his misfortune and
they found Policeman Mclntee, who took
the injured man to Bellevue Hospital.
Ilytlropliobln on a Farm.
ALTOONA, Pa., Oct. 30. Mrs. Peter
Empfield and three cows on her husband's
farm, at Martlnsburg, were bitten by a
rabid dog a few days ago. The cows soon
went mad, two of them butting their
brains out against the trees on the farm.
The third, with the dog, was shot. Mrs.
Empfield became ill Saturday, showing
symptoms of hydrophobia. She became so
violent that she was strapped to her couch,
to prevent her Inflicting injuries to the
attending nurses. She will probably die.

A

Necessary Legislation.
(" to
A Snnltnr'unDl'nder the Marine Hoh
pltal Authorities Sag-seated The
Spread of lite 'Disease? More Dun
lin Than From Smallpox or Yel
low Fever Dr. Woodnrard'H Views.
There is a strong probability that Con
gress will be called upon this winter to
enact suitable legislation for the prevention
and spread of consumption. It is said that
a bill will be introduced in the House for
i the erection of a national santarlum to be
under the immediate supervision of the
Marine Hospital Service, and In view ot
the contagious character of the disease it
is not improbable that some vigorous ac
tion will be taken looking toward stamping
out the plague, for it is fast becoming a
plague, as statistics of the large cities
show. The fact that the United States
Government is deepely Interested In the
matter Is shown by instructions recently
sent our consuls abroad ordering them to
obtain data on the subjecL In accordance
with Instructions, Consul Covert, at Ly
ons, has transmitted the following from
the League for the Prevention of Tubercu
losis: "For every six persons. In this country,
at least one dies of consumption. Of the
850,000 deaths that occur every year in
France, over 110,000 are caused by pul
monary tuberculosis or phthisis, and this
number, instead of decreasing, goes on
augmenting every year. Hardly a family
but pays to it a sad tribute. No disease,
no scourge, can be compared to tuberculo
sis, so far as the number of the victims
Is concerned. All epidemics and contagious
diseases combined typhoid, varioloid,
scarlatina, measles, diphtheria, cholera,
etc. do not cause half as many deaths.
"The parasite of this disease may also
be found In beef (above all, cow beef),
poultry, rabbits, and milk. The latter
should be boiled, or, better still, sterilized.
Milk Is sterilized by placing the vessel con
taining it in a tin pall full of water and
letting it boil forty-five mnutes. The hab
it of drinking blood at slaughterhouses Is
dangerous and without any salutary re
sults. "Some persons have a tendency to con
sumption and should be especially careful;
for instance those whose relatives have
died from consumption or who are feeble
from privations. The abuse of alcoholic
liquors is particularly favorable to con
sumption. Over 2.000 Infants under two
years of age die annually of consumption
in Paris. This disease Is curable, where
it has not advanced too far, for those who
are willing to submit to long months and
sometimes years of treatment and repose
In special sanitariums."
The time is fast approaching when States
will quarantine against consumptives. Cal
ifornia, It Is said, h'as already started such
a movement. A recent despatch on this
subject from Detroit says:
"The attention of the State board of
health has been called by the Michigan
State board of health to the case of twenty
clerks in a German brewery, who, in a
short period of time, were taken sick with
consumption, all of them having worked
over records which upon examination by a
bacteriologist, were found to be infected
with tubular bacillL
'Turther examination showed that they
had been Infected by a consumptive clerk.
wbo had the habit of moistening his fin
gers In his mouth-Whenever he turned the
pages of the record book, cln this way all
the books had become thoroughly infect
ed." When shown the above by a Times re
ported this morning. Dr. William C. Wood
ard. Health Officer of the District, who Is
an authority in lung trouble, said
"It has been an established fact for
sometime that consumption is contagious
the same as other malignant diseases. In
fact, it Is more dangerous because an ig
norant consumptive can do more harm in
a healthy community than a person In
fected with smallpox or yellow fever, for
the reason that the latter diseases are
quarantined.
"Tlie great danger." continued Dr. Wood
ard, "is in association with the consump
tive. The indiscriminate- scattering of
sputum by the consumptive is where the
great danger lies. It dries quickly, and fills
the air with the tubucular bacilli, which
inhaled by the healthy plants the germ
from which consumption develops.
"Of course, all persons are not thus
affected, for the reason that some are
stronger and healthier than others, just
the same as many persons escape the
smallpox of other contagious diseases.
"The case in the brewery in Germany to
which the despatch refers does not at all
surprise me. although, in my judgment, it
is exceptional. You know it frequently
nappens that persons deposit their sputum
in their handkerchiefs, and when using
that article on a street car the tuberculo
sis bacilli drops off and floats In the air
and is inhaled by the passengers. Thus
are the germs of the disease spread, and
the passengers may become inoculated.
There is really more danger in the sputum
than there Is in sleeping with a consump
tive."
Dr. Woodward said that there was al
ways more or less danger in handling books
that had been thumbed by a consumptive,
because the tuberculosis bacilli deposited
therein retained power to spread the dis
ease for years afterward. The bacilli
could also be carried in cigards made by
consumptives, but the burning of the in
fected cigar would, of course, destroy the
bacilli, although it was possible to even
contract consumption by smoking. How
ever, he said, the chance of being infected
by cigars was very remote.
Dr. George W. 'Goler, tw o days' ago, read
THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevent Many People From Trylnir
a Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be car
ried too far. so far, in fact, that many peo
ple sufTer for , years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money In
faithfully testing the claims made ot a
preparation so reliable and universally used
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines, for the rea
son that, tbey are not a secret patent medi
cine; no secret is made of their Ingredients,
but analysis show's them to contain the nat
ural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids. Golden Seal, bis
muth, Hydrastis, and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do tbey act powerfully on
any organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common-sense plan of digesting the food
eaten thoroughly before It has time to
ferment, sour, and cause the mischief. Thl?
is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles, be
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really In the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there Is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh
and appetite, and many other troubles
which are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 50 cents per package. Address F. A.

a paper before the New York State Medi
cal Association, in which hp said:
"If there were 50,000 cases of smallpox
in this State annually the country would go
mm wicn rage anu remonstrance until cue
evil was eradicated. If there should be 50,
000 cases of bubonic plague, yellow fever,
or any other disease that mankind cannot
walk about under and distribute unknown
among his neighbors, the Government it
self would step In with all sorts of quar
antines and restrictive laws.
"But there are hundreds of thousands of
cases of consumption which we tolerate,
though It as deadly as cholera and as sure
as taxes. We do not fear it, because it
starts in so easily, and allows you to w-alk
about almost to the day of your death. No
body worries over it- It is a sort of lotus
disease that never deprives its victim en
tirely of hope.
"This State has as yet given no thought
to the suppression of consumption. It is
a well-known medical fact that incipient
cases are subject to cure. The State should
build at once special sanitariums for the
care of incipient consumptives."
SAVED BY A POLICEMAN.
Tlmrl DlNcovery of nn Attempt
to
Darn a Tent-menl.
NEW YORK. Oct. SO. To Policeman Pe
ter Murphy, of the East 126th Street sta
tion, is due the credit for frustrating an
attempt to burn down a big double flat
house on Leiington Avenue early yesterday
morning while the seventy tenants were
sleeping, and he also secured an important
bit of evidence which led to the arrest ot
Julius Karshay, the keeper of a delicates
sen store in the building, on suspicion of
being the incendiary. Karshay wa3 held in
$2,000 bail in the Harlem police court.
Policeman Murphy, at midnight, while
trying doors along his post, discovered that
the door of Karshay's store, at No. 1903
Lexington Avenue, was unlocked and
slightly open. He stuck bis head in and
called to see If the proprietor was around.
Receiving no answer he entered the store,
and seeing nothing disturbed, continued his
search to a small room behind a partition
at the rear of the place used as a sleeping
room.
It contained a trunk and a bed standing
near the thin partition. The bed was un
occupied and life back windows were closed,
but on the floor In the narrow space be
tween the bed and the partition was a
small wooden box. from which came a
brleht glow of light. Stooping down Mur
phy discovered a small bit of wax candle.
burning In the centre of the box and sur
surrounded by a mass of oil paper and
shavings, which in another minute would
have been blazing fiercely.
After he had plucked the candle out of
the box Murphy locked around for ether
evidence of the very aprarcnt attempt at
incendiarism. On the partition immediate
ly over the box and reaching down to with
in a few Inches of the candle were hang
ing an old pair of trousers and a muslin
bag. The coverlets on the bed were dis
arranged, and Murphy shrewdly felt of
the sheets. They were still warm 03 if
some one had very recently vacated it.
It was learned that Karshay himself
slept in the small rear room, and had been
seen by two witnesses to leave the store
at 9 o'clock that night. Nobody saw him
return until an hour after Policeman Mur
phy's discovery, when he immediately de
clared that the store had been burglarizsd
and he had been robbed of $120, which he
kept in a pocketbook in his trunk.
Karshay was placed under arrest, and
told contradictory stories of where he had
spent the time during his absence from the
store. He couldn t account for the dis
turbed condition of the bedclothes or the
presence of the box of oil paper and light
ed candle in his room, except on the theory
that thieves had placed them there.
The detectives learned that he had come
here from Pittsburg, a short time ago, and
had only occupied the store eight days. He
admitted that the stock and fixtures had
only cost him $110. An Insurance policy
was found in his possession, showing that
the day after he opened the store he had
insured the stock, fixtures, and his clothing
for $1,000.

NEW ORLEANS' NEXT CARNIVAL
Plans for nn entirely Xeiv Mnrdl
Gra re(l,nl.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct 30. A great sur
prise is being prepared for next year's car
nival. Heretofore Hereus has never ap
peared upon the public thoroughfares, but
this carnival season embraces a new de
parture. Not only will Hereus come forth
upon the Btreets of New Orleans, but he
promises to come in such state and splen
dor as will mark an epoch in the history
of Mardi Gras. The street parade bids fair
to be the most novel and magnificent spec
tacular production seen in modern times.
The plan is for nothig less than a mam
moth train of electric cars specially made
for the purpose and decorated more elab
orately than any Mardi Gras float ever seen
in New Orleans, the city of carnivals. It
will be an electric parade.
The plan Is entirely new and original,
and its possibilities are so great that the
sculptors and artists In charze of the
work do not hesitate to promise a produc
tion far superior to any previous parade.
It Is given out that all mechanical diffi
culties have been overcome and several sec
tions of the huge pageant are already com
pleted. Serioa Chance Aenlnnt n Child.
